Founding Principle, CEO, Broker and REALTOR®

About

Jeff Barrett is a founding principle of Pinnacle Real Estate Services.

His years of experience as an investor, business owner and agent culminated in partnering with Steven Ballew to launch a relationship-driven firm.  As a listener, he can quickly understand your need and go to work for you. Having sat at the closing table dozens of times as a buyer and as a seller, Jeff has a perspective few agents do.  He has personally experienced just about every scenario possible as a buyer or seller.

Years at the table have taught him the value of an agent who is trusted, informed and works tirelessly for you. This shaped Jeff into the kind of agent everyone hopes for — one who is patient, knows how to keep things moving forward when the buyer finds the home they want, and can help navigate the unexpected. He is a resource for the inexperienced buyer or anyone who has tried to navigate the world of selling, purchasing, and financing a home on schedule.

Jeff knows that if he does an excellent job for you today, he will be your agent tomorrow as well. He serves as a mentor and resource to other agents in the firm.
